Don’t Go To Dances Without It
Remember Wrigley’s Winterfresh gum? The blue pack. It was the most important thing in preparation for grade school dances, aside from the $5 cover charge.
I think I must’ve kissed over 6 girls with that sweet wintergreen taste in my mouth. And I bet they all loved it! I often wonder if the girls cared about me at all, or if they were just whores, using me to save that 25cents on a pack and just tasting the sweet taste off my tongue, and occasionally just stealing the gum right from my mouth.
I wanted their boobies, they wanted my gum. I guess it’s what you would call an even trade.
I had a stick of Big Red today and this is what I thought about with every chew.
And then I cried because I’m 24 now and I fear all my best days are behind me.
